4:1 I
therefore,
a
prisoner
for
the
Lord,
urge
you
to
walk
in
a
manner
worthy
of
the
calling
to
which
you
have
been
called,
4:2 with
all
humility
and
gentleness,
with
patience,
bearing
with
one
another
in
love,
4:3 eager
to
maintain
the
unity
of
the
Spirit
in
the
bond
of
peace.
4:4 There
is
one
body
and
one
Spirit--just
as
you
were
called
to
the
one
hope
that
belongs
to
your
call--
4:5 one
Lord,
one
faith,
one
baptism,
4:6 one
God
and
Father
of
all,
who
is
over
all
and
through
all
and
in
all.
4:7 But
grace
was
given
to
each
one
of
us
according
to
the
measure
of
Christ's
gift.
4:8 Therefore
it
says,
"When
he
ascended
on
high
he
led
a
host
of
captives,
and
he
gave
gifts
to
men."
4:9 (In
saying,
"He
ascended,"
what
does
it
mean
but
that
he
had
also
descended
into
the
lower
regions,
the
earth
4:10 He
who
descended
is
the
one
who
also
ascended
far
above
all
the
heavens,
that
he
might
fill
all
things.)
4:11 And
he
gave
the
apostles,
the
prophets,
the
evangelists,
the
shepherds
and
teachers,
4:12 to
equip
the
saints
for
the
work
of
ministry,
for
building
up
the
body
of
Christ,
4:13 until
we
all
attain
to
the
unity
of
the
faith
and
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Son
of
God,
to
mature
manhood,
to
the
measure
of
the
stature
of
the
fullness
of
Christ,
4:14 so
that
we
may
no
longer
be
children,
tossed
to
and
fro
by
the
waves
and
carried
about
by
every
wind
of
doctrine,
by
human
cunning,
by
craftiness
in
deceitful
schemes.
4:15 Rather,
speaking
the
truth
in
love,
we
are
to
grow
up
in
every
way
into
him
who
is
the
head,
into
Christ,
4:16 from
whom
the
whole
body,
joined
and
held
together
by
every
joint
with
which
it
is
equipped,
when
each
part
is
working
properly,
makes
the
body
grow
so
that
it
builds
itself
up
in
love.
4:17 Now
this
I
say
and
testify
in
the
Lord,
that
you
must
no
longer
walk
as
the
Gentiles
do,
in
the
futility
of
their
minds.
4:18 They
are
darkened
in
their
understanding,
alienated
from
the
life
of
God
because
of
the
ignorance
that
is
in
them,
due
to
their
hardness
of
heart.
4:19 They
have
become
callous
and
have
given
themselves
up
to
sensuality,
greedy
to
practice
every
kind
of
impurity.
4:20 But
that
is
not
the
way
you
learned
Christ!--
4:21 assuming
that
you
have
heard
about
him
and
were
taught
in
him,
as
the
truth
is
in
Jesus,
4:22 to
put
off
your
old
self,
which
belongs
to
your
former
manner
of
life
and
is
corrupt
through
deceitful
desires,
4:23 and
to
be
renewed
in
the
spirit
of
your
minds,
4:24 and
to
put
on
the
new
self,
created
after
the
likeness
of
God
in
true
righteousness
and
holiness.
4:25 Therefore,
having
put
away
falsehood,
let
each
one
of
you
speak
the
truth
with
his
neighbor,
for
we
are
members
one
of
another.
4:26 Be
angry
and
do
not
sin;
do
not
let
the
sun
go
down
on
your
anger,
4:27 and
give
no
opportunity
to
the
devil.
4:28 Let
the
thief
no
longer
steal,
but
rather
let
him
labor,
doing
honest
work
with
his
own
hands,
so
that
he
may
have
something
to
share
with
anyone
in
need.
4:29 Let
no
corrupting
talk
come
out
of
your
mouths,
but
only
such
as
is
good
for
building
up,
as
fits
the
occasion,
that
it
may
give
grace
to
those
who
hear.
4:30 And
do
not
grieve
the
Holy
Spirit
of
God,
by
whom
you
were
sealed
for
the
day
of
redemption.
4:31 Let
all
bitterness
and
wrath
and
anger
and
clamor
and
slander
be
put
away
from
you,
along
with
all
malice.
4:32 Be
kind
to
one
another,
tenderhearted,
forgiving
one
another,
as
God
in
Christ
forgave
you.
